they can be made known privately if

TINS paper will be distributed in
time for us to once more call attention
to the meeting of the Sunday School
Union, at the Church of Our Father,
on the North Side, on Thursday Of the
present week. A carefully prepared
program is arranged, and the topics and
the speakers suggest an interesting oc-
casion. We trust that there will be a
large attendance, and that the earnest
and faithful workers engaged in the
Sunday school activities of our locality,
will be duly encouraged by the result.

"A VOICE more potent and command

The candidates for Judge of the Superior

Advice to Those Who Have Suffered from Fire
Preservation of the Skin.
The Family Doctor.
In all burns great care should be taken
to save the cuticle-the raised portion of
the skin that forms the blister. Clothing,
etc., should be removed with the utmost
gentleness. Blisters should be carefully
punctured with clean needle. The best
way to be sure that q needle is clean when
required for such service is to heat it red
hot, allow it to cool, and then use it. It
will thus be freed from any organisms,
for in such a place as burn germs will
thrive abundantly and prove most detri-
mental, so that the utmost care is neces-
sary, Then the raised cuticle should be
pressed down to the true skin, and cover
ed with largo quantity of clean cotton
wool to prevent the access of air, as free
exposure tends to increase shock and
pain. Equal parts of lime-water and
linseed oil applied on lint and covered
with cotton wool is a favorite remedy,
known under the name of carron oil, or
the blister may be covered with wheaton
flour.
Lately powdered clay has been en-
ployed, but for the first two days it is best
to wrap the part in cotton wool, sufficient
oil being employed to prevent its stick
ing. The dressings once put on must not
be removed for several days-not, indeed,
until they have been loosened by the dis
charge or become offensive. The con-
slant removal of dressings is disturbing,
painful, and consequently injurious, and
to ebviate any necessity for it carbolic
Gill; as disinfectant, is used in the pro-
portion of one to ten or more.
Small burns or scaids may be treated by
water dressing, lead lotion, chalk and
water, collodion or Frisr's balsam. Two
parts of collodion to one of castor oil is
an excellent application. The patient
should be kept in warm atmosphere,
well covered up, and some wine or brandy
and hot water may be administered.

On Feeding Sheep.
American Agriculturist,

After all that most careful scientific
investigators may ascertain for our guild
ance, there is nothing equal in value to
actual xperience-wha might be called
the testimony of the sheep. M. MoN, a
noted French writer, thinks fne-wooled
sheep reach their best estate Ill the re-
gion of the vine and the mulberry. In
America [ would Substitute for this the
latitude adapted to Indian corn. This is
to the Western farmer what the turnip
is to the English shepherd. My exper-
fence for years in feeding sheep on fod-
der (which is better'in every way than
fodder corn, except for nursing ewes
has given me the highest opinions of its
value for this purpose. The silk-worn1-
like closeness with which they pick every
shred Of the foliage from the canes obvi-
ates the necessity of cutting the stalks,
which is an operation of dubious profit
ableness with the coarse Western corn.
Besides that, fodder has a most aomira-
BILE effect on the res piratory and eircula-
tory systesas. A horse may often be car
ed of mild case ,ef heaves by the sub
stitution OF fodder for hay in his Manager.
Thus, by q uiek ening and stimulating the
circulation, fodder is better feed than hay
for increasing the wool product. It is
more laxtive than dimothy or any other
hay, except clover. A perfect ration for
sheep should include at least one daily
feed of bright fodder; it is far preferable
to rye and (Dearded) wheat straw, the
boards of which are liable to cause great
irritation to the coasts of the stomach.
One winSer fed a flock of 224 young
sheep, mostly yearings, one and half
bushels Of sheHe6 corn and eighteen
bushels Of fodder Per day. With a run
of two or three hours day on an old sod
they wintered remarkably well. The cur
rent local price for fodder is ten cents
shock of forty hills. Planted in rows
three feet ten inches apart, there would
be thirty three and foar-tifths shocks to
the acre. FoUr bundles made a shock.
The fodder on an acre is worth $2.38.
The flock CONSUMES ferSy-fve cents per
day. Of corn, at forty cents a bushel,
they require SIXTY cents worth per day.
They are fed, say, four and half months
(this will allow for the diminished ration
at the beginning and end of the season.
This will make their winters supply of
fodder cost $e0.75, and their corn ISL:
total, $l41.S5,. This flock would have re-
quired 800 pounds of hay per day, which,
at $40 a ton, would be worth $3.50.
Against this, the daily ration of fodder
and corn cost $3.50. The best and most
economical way to employ wheat straw
for sheep is in connection with fodder.

FARM NOTES.

Leave plenty of potato to your potato
eye IT you want strong plants.
Wats and corn mixed in equal weight
make good ration in fattening, especially
ia young sheep.
When the pigs are coughing it indicates
not only damp yards, but also that the
roof of the shelteS leaks.
Whenever the wheat fields and pastures
are thrown UP by the frost it is best to
run roller over tde crop.
Scatter some of the finest, richest and
best manure you have on the piece of
ground intended for your onions.
Ii you have not secured your garden
seeds, do SO at once. The selections
should all be made during the winter
season.
1t has been suggested that farm horses
be sold by weight, in addition to their
qualities, SO as to induce farmers to raise
larger and better horses.
In northern climates gardens and Or
chards should be screened from the cold
winds by good hedges. The protection
thus afforded is much better than high
walls.
Even two or three feeds of cooked tur-
nips or potatoes each week is better than
to omit such food altogether. It is var
1ety that promotes health and keeps the
stock in condition.
Carriages and farm wagons might be
made to last twice as long if only a
few moments were spent each week dur
ing dry weather in tightening up the
bolts that hold the wagon together.
Sudden changes of the weather causes
diseases among fowls much sooner than
long continued cold or warm weather.
heup very contagious disease, is usual
~ due to dampness.
Give plenty of green food now while
the ground is frozen. Cabbages, onions
and steamed chopped hay are very good
LOT stimulating the fowls, and twill
greatly increase the laying of eggs
Should spring open early, and the
grass start, do not be tempted to allow
the stock to Craze on in until it is we'll |
under growth. Tramping on young grass
does more damage than grazing it closely.

Improve the Dairy Cows.
Colman' Rural IT orld.

Colman' Rural World.
1t is estimated that the average yield
of butter per cow in Vermont, one of the
best dairy states in the Union, is 119
pounds per year, while the best farmers
get 800 and some as much as $50 pounds.
The dairymen of that state consider that
a cow giving only 100 pounds of butter
in yeer is not profitable, but that an
extra 100 pounds will be seven-eighths
profit.
If the COWS of Vermont only give 119
pounds of butter each, per year, how
much can it be expected that our Miss
souri, COWS give? Probably not over sew
enty-fve pounds, and while it may be
true that cow in Vermont will cost more
than one in Missouri, there is no question
but that seventyfve pounds of butter per
year yield no profit. And if we take into
consideration the lower price of dairy
products here than in the East it is quite
likely our cheaper feed is balanced and
thet our COWS must yield quite as much
here as in Vermont to be profitable.
There is no reason why COWS in Mis-
souri, can not, with good breeding and
handling, be made to yield as much as
those of any state in the Union. There
are dairymen in this state who are max
ing their COWS yield good averages. but
these are rare and hard to find
We have men complaining that dairy
ing does rot pay with butter ct the prices
which prevail. No dairying will pay with
COWS yielding but sevepty-five or eighty
pounds of butter per year, and that poor
ly made. But we have market in St.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Joseph, and in
hundreds of inland towns for number
one article of butter at coed prices. There
is no question about selling all that will
be made, and the only points to attain
are g sufficient quantity per cow and a
good quality of product
